The Secretary of Education seeks the consent of the State Board of Education to create 14 DE Admin. Code 932 Military-Connected Youth. This regulation is being created to align with 14 Del.C §122(b)(28) which requires the development of a process for districts and charter schools to annually identify enrolled students who are "military-connected youth". This is necessary to ensure school officials are aware of their military connection should they require any special services or supports.

This regulation outlines the process for districts and charter schools to annually identify enrolled students who are "military-connected youth." This regulation is established pursuant to 14 Del.C. Chapter 1, §122(b)(28).

"Military-Connected Youth" means any student having an immediate family member, including a parent, step-parent, sibling or any other person residing in the same household, who is on active duty, serving in the reserve component, or recently retired from a branch of the United States armed forces. Such branches consist of United States Army, United States Air Force, United States Marine Corps, United States Navy, National Guard, United States Coast Guard, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration or the United States Public Health Service.

"Recently Retired" for the purposes of this regulation, means within 18 months prior to September 30 of the current school year.
